Sandy, Pat, Jackie & family. I was so sorry to see your mom had passed away. I remember the many sleepovers we had at your house & how much fun your mom was. I hadn’t seen her since she worked at Thoms Hospital but thought of her often. She was a wonderful person & I know she will be missed. My condolence to your family.
Always smiling, friendly toward everyone, she is my aunt and I am sure she is talking to all the saints in heaven today. She is having a good time now. Love you!
Mom….luv u. You were an awesome and ‘cool’ Grandmother.
Pat, Jackie, and Sandy,
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I will miss Maude’s big smile (when she decided to honor us with that smile) on Sunday when we gathered at Universal to worship the Lord Jesus. I know you all will miss her. It is such a comfort knowing that she is with our Lord Jesus now and someday soon we will see her again. My prayers are with all of you.
Love in Christ,
